One of the dudes quarreled with another guy and he shot him with the thompson, but the bullet got stuck in his padded winter jacket. I've heard that the M1A1 carbine would be stopped at range by sufficiently thick overcoats.

Rent-A-Cop posted:Of course if you're not dead-set on the whole "suit" thing you can encase a man inside 70 tons of steel, ceramic, and depleted uranium, attach a 1,500HP turbine, and let him crush his enemies beneath his iron treads. Long before I'd ever played Civilization we'd be watching old movies on TCM and AMC and they had a lot on set in Rome and in World War 2 and I would wonder just how many legionnaires would it take to beat a tank? And you know what? You people. You people ruined it. Now I can't even masturbate anymore without considering the logistics of supplying a time travelling sherman tank, either with food, water and amphetamines for the crew and fuel and ammunition for the tank itself. I can't even get it up without worrying about the dizzying chemical mechanics involved in the production of petroleum derivatives. About the quality of the oil itself. Wanting for oil, about the process of deriving synthetic fuel from coal deposits across the far flung provinces and how many days it would take to travel to theater and how many kilocalories per man hour would be needed for a crew of sailors for it to arrive. Innocence lost, my friends.
